You re just three kilometres to the beautiful town of Cascais and at its heart, the small yet delightful beach of Praia da Ribeira de Cascais. Historically the summer retreat of Lisbon s royalty and nobility, Cascais continues to attract holidaymakers from Portugal and overseas. Praia da Conceicao is another sandy beach on the outskirts of the town. Guincho beach is renowned for wilder seas and thus a mecca for surfers. But if you want to witness the power of the Atlantic, visit Boca do Inferno. On the other side of the headland and translated literally as Hell s Mouth, this collapsed cave and rocky cliff feel the full force of the ocean. Winter storms push seawater up through the open cave. Head to the modern and bustling marina for nautical activity, a waterfront promenade and seafood lunch. Shoppers should explore the old town centre, where traditional houses are now boutiques, pavement cafes and restaurants. Stroll along tree-lined avenues and across romantic plazas for a genuinely continental retail experience. For a full day s sightseeing and total immersion in culture, history and the arts, travel the forty minutes to one of Europe s most beautiful capital cities. Families can avoid tired legs and take whistle-stop tours of Lisbon s incredible monastery, castle, palaces and museums. Either hop on and off the open top bus tour or board the famous number 28 tram. Find a restaurant or bar on the waterfront at Praco do Comercio for refreshment and people-watching. Once you ve had your fill of this fascinating city and other jewels adorning the Silver Coast, head back to Villa Deolinda. The luxury of your private villa and pool await. Page 4
